193. No they're not; they are a very diverse group
ALL that Zionism means is a belief in the existence of a Jewish homeland in the Middle East.
Most of the original Zionists were socialist.
A Zionist can believe that Israel should expand, or that it should return to its pre-1967 borders. They can be strong campaigners for equal rights for Israeli Arabs, or they can be totally bigoted against Arabs.
Members of parties to the right of the Likud are Zionists. So are supporters of Peace Now and similar groups.
To say all Zionists are like Neo-Cons is like saying that all Americans are Neo-Cons, or that all supporters of a Palestinian state are terrorists. Simply not true!
